I fitted this couple of weeks ago. Got to tweak it a bit but you can't adjust them much to bring them up.

Clutch gets heavy after about 80,000 miles or so. New clutch is nice and light.

i just use contact cleaner or gt85, whatever can a find first :wink:

did you reconfigure everything to 'without' before removing the ecu?

always worth checking it even if it's to rule it out.

doubt it would be the coil, if one side fails then it will still run or at least try and run on the other side on two cylinders? fwir clip has two codes for the coil pack relating to each side?

logically if you reconfigure with clip and turn everything off then i'd imagine it would be fine with the airbag ecu removed? never tried it this way myself though so can't confirm 100% if this will work though.

50/50 acetone and atf, soak them for a couple of days and that will shift them.

nope, it's not common. faulty body or pedal is very rare. what happens is someone changes the throttle body, this disturbs the wiring when it's unplugged and plugged back in and as the body has been changed this must of been faulty!! if it's that common why is it 99% of the time the limp mode...

never seen faulty pedal, only ever had one faulty body but that had loads of issues with the loom as well.

main connector in fusebox under the bonnet, check that and give it a quick clean first. majority of the time it's just bad connection. very rare for it to be a pedal or tb. it will have codes stored, just your reader can't see them.

two things to bear in mind, the self colour bolts (black ones) rust so would be worth looking at bzp and a lot of the washers used aren't standard sizes, bigger diameter, thicker and stronger. also if anyone is interested i've got a list of just about all of the bolts for the head/cam...

If an ABS or ESC system has been intentionally rendered inoperative,the whole system must be removed. However, this does not apply to sensor rings or other ABS components which are an integral part of another component e.g. brake disc or driveshaft. afik this is still current, not sure if it...

on the pipe that comes off the passengers side.

not quite that straight forward, you can remove abs from any car and as long as everything is removed it's not a fail. can be a bit of a minefield especially if you have a tester who doesn't know what can and can't fail :wink:

you can use the 182 upper inlet on the 172 but it will need modifying to sit properly on the 172 head.

yup, they can't fail it.

Pass and advise under current test, not looked into it when it changes this year but afik still the same.

Wonder how the new minor fail will be regulated when that changes, sure I read a minor fail has to be rectified within 3 months?

Vehicles first used on or after 1 January 1971 must be fitted with two obligatory stop lamps. Additional stop lamps fitted and connected must be tested. Where extra lamps are fitted and there is doubt as to whether they are connected, the benefit of this doubt should be given to the presenter.

also 3rd brake light isn't a fail if it's not working at all.

talking out of his arse!!!!

fingers crossed it's had an iffy plug on the loom. the pins can pull back on them and you get a dodgy connection.

so it's only had black one so far?

what make of crank sensor are you using?

not got diagrams here, only got them in work sorry.

tag me in it.

Will be wiring/connection issue.

Yup, in the tank. Try it first thougg with cycling the ignition a few times and if that cures it then new pump.

It's pretty much always been like that.
